Baishixian Road

Chapter 46
"This is our River God Festival in Linhe County, which is held every spring."

"What, don't do it? You can't do it. If the river god gets into trouble, half of the river boats passing by will sink here. At that time, it won't be two little babies."

"The god of the river entrusted a dream to ask for virgin boys and girls, and to build a temple to receive incense, so as to ensure peace for one side...how to choose? There are thousands of households and tens of thousands of people in the county. Unlucky, what else can I do? But those who are drawn will get a little money, which can be regarded as a little compensation. The government? Can't control it, can't control it at all, it's a matter of acquiescence."

"You mean the inside story? Brother, you are an expert. This matter should be handled in the same way in other places. There must be an inside story. Otherwise, every time you draw, why are the children of poor families and rich officials? But it never won the lottery.”

"In the past, there were those meddlesome knight-errants who saved people, but they saved one family, but they couldn't save the second family. There's no way around it. It's impossible to stop worshiping the river god."

"You mean the river god? Of course you have seen it. You will see it after the sacrifice enters the river."

"Thank you little brother!"

Xu Mo thanked, and said again: "Oh, by the way, if no sacrifices enter the river, will the river god be angry?"

"Of course it will!"

"Will show up and get angry?"

"Of course, and if that's the case, we have to double the tribute to appease the wrath of the River God."

"You just said that as soon as the gong in front of the River God Temple is knocked, the River God will come?"

"Correct."

"Thank you!"

Xu Mo probably understood the question, and cupped his hands at the young man, then pushed away the crowd and walked all the way to the Heshen Temple.

Many people along the road were squeezed down and cursed, but Xu Mo didn't care. Someone dragged him, just kidding, how could he be able to hold a person with great inner strength?
Useless work.

When Xu Mo walked up to the Heshen Temple and looked at the tense-looking villagers who were protecting the two boys and girls, Xu Mo said that I was here to beat the gong, not to rob people.

After finishing speaking, take the hammer and beat the gong.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Dangdang Dangdang!
Dangdang Dangdang!
Knock nine times.

Everyone around was stunned, but the one-year-old man reacted and cursed loudly.

"Where did this reckless man come from? If you ring the bell before the time comes, the river god will definitely blame you. What are you going to do?"

"Catch this fellow quickly."

"It's over, it's over, if the River God blames it, we will all suffer."

"It's tied, it's about to be tied!"

Some young and middle-aged men surrounded them, but they were all repulsed by Xu Mo, and dozens of them couldn't get close.

These people are not fools, and they know that this master is not easy to mess with.

So the hard ones didn’t work, and they were changed to soft ones.

Plop plop kneeling on the ground.

"This hero, the River God Sacrifice, don't make trouble. This matter is related to the life and death of the people along the river. I beg the hero to show his noble hand. Don't stop and make trouble. Denying the anger of the River God, no one can eat and walk around."

"Hero, please raise your hands high."

In the face of everyone's pleas, Xu Mo remained unmoved.

He was too lazy to talk to these people.

He looked at the surface of the river. Sure enough, the surface of the river, which was relatively stable just now, was full of waves at this moment. The water rippled and began to change from clear to turbid.

Obviously abnormal, there is something churning under the water.

Xu Mo looked curious. Of course, he was well prepared.

Holding the little black flag in his hand, his whole body was full of true energy.

If there is any abnormality, it is better to act first.

The river was tumbling even more violently, just like boiling water, bubbling and bubbling. The surrounding villagers were so frightened that they knelt down and begged the river god to calm down.

He also said that it is not possible, the river god can show up and eat the villain who offended you.

Listen, is this a human thing?

With the rolling of the river, the mud and sand became turbid, and the originally sunny sky turned cloudy at this moment, with the clouds covering the top.

Xu Mo looked up.

"This is the art of calling the wind and calling the rain!"

Mumbling to himself, Xu Mo also looked straight at this time.

Obviously, the one in the river is not easy.

The last time I met someone who knew how to call wind and rain was Huai Yuanhui from Gua Longshan.

Xu Mo knows how fierce Huai Yuanhui is. If there is a fight, ten of them may not be able to beat one Huai Yuanhui.

Fortunately, Huai Yuanhui advocated Buddhism, and Xu Mo relied on this, so that he turned danger into good fortune. Not only was he safe, but he also took advantage of a lot and gained a lot of benefits.

But if this guy in the river is really as tyrannical as Huai Yuanhui, all Xu Mo can do is turn around and run away without saying a word.

At this moment, Xu Mo was ready to run away.

Bang!
A huge wave surged.

It was like a sewer pipe bursting suddenly. The water sprayed out more than ten meters high and fell on the shore. Many people were thrown off their feet by the muddy muddy water.

The shore suddenly became a mess, people were crying, shouting 'Oh my god', and fled in a hurry.

Xu Mo stood in a good position and was not affected.

Look again, there is something on the surface of the river.

Very big.

And weird.

The green shell has floating hairs like a millstone, and the pair of pincers wield like a sword. If there is no straight way in the world, you will run wild with eight legs.

"Isn't this a crab?"

Looking at the giant in the river, Xu Mo couldn't help swallowing.

Mainly, he had never seen or eaten such a big crab.

It looks like it's about the size of a car.

If this is steamed, what size pot do I need to use?

How much will it cost?
I don't know if it is a male or a female, and whether there is crab roe!

No, I think a little far away, so I focus on my eyes first.

Xu Mo knew that this thing was probably the so-called river god.

A giant crab.

Now that the opponent is here, let's act first.

Xu Mo made up his mind, as soon as this thing landed, he would do it immediately, first use the small black flag to fix it, and then use Youshen to deliver a fatal blow.

It's just that what happened next was different from what Xu Mo expected.

The big crab didn't make it to the shore, but only halfway out of the river, looked at it, then sank again.

After a while, the river calmed down and the clouds cleared.

"Coward?"

Xu Mo, who was ready for a big fight, was stunned.

Didn't the river god get angry?
That's it?

Xu Mo wanted to ask, but the surrounding villagers had dispersed just now, and there was no one to ask.

Not reconciled, Xu Mo went to knock on the gong again, and even threw the god statue in the river temple into the river. After waiting for a long time, nothing strange happened. This made Xu Mo understand that the crab should be really cowardly .

He waited on the bank until Lin Jiuyuan came back, but the river god didn't show up again.

"gentlemen!"

Lin Jiuyuan looked excited and said that she had found the parents of the children and returned the children.

Xu Mo preached, saying that after she left, another child was pushed up to sacrifice.

"Sir, did you make a move?" Lin Jiuyuan asked.

This is nonsense, the lively River God Festival just now has no one running around, and any fool knows that something happened here.

"It's a pity that the roots haven't been eradicated."

Xu Mo stared at the river surface a little unwillingly.

Who would have thought that the crab was so cowardly that he ran away as soon as he met him.

The other party insisted on hiding in the river, but Xu Mo couldn't help it.

After waiting for a long time, when the boat was about to leave, Xu Mo and Lin Jiuyuan had no choice but to return.

into the night.

Xu Mo was a little sleepy, so he simply fell asleep, but in a trance, he felt the sound of water rippling around him. He opened his eyes to see that he was still on the boat, but the surroundings were like a dream.

This is in a dream.

Except for Xu Mo, there was no one on board. Suddenly, the ship shook. When I went to the deck, there was a man standing there with his whole body wet.

The other party had a gloomy face, and when he saw Xu Mo, he immediately said, "I have no grievances or enmity with Your Excellency, why do you damage my prestige? Steal my human pill?"

Xu Mo had never seen any scene before, so he realized it immediately.

"You are Jinshui River God?"

"Not bad!"

It turned out to be the big crab.

Xu Mo understood that the other party had dreamed of him and came to question him.

Are all the monsters here so reasonable?

Courtesy before soldiers?

As for the other party's question, Xu Mo thought for a while and said, "Swallowing children is against the law of nature. Now that we have met, of course I will take care of it."

The man sneered: "You are meddling in your own business, what is against the laws of nature, why are you so hypocritical, you are an immortal cultivator, the man-eating pills are several times more than mine, and I only take two pills a year, why not?"

He obviously didn't believe Xu Mo's words.

Xu Mo thought about it and said that I have never eaten a crab as big as yours.

"I knew it!"

The man's facial features are terrifying at this moment.

"You are just like them, you are greedy for my body."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure changed into a giant crab, and he rushed towards Xu Mo.

This is planning to dream kill.

Xu Mo was not used to the other party's problem, so he yelled, "Someone is ruining the situation, come out!"

The next moment, Wei Sanniang, Zhang Wan and other lonely ghosts all appeared on the stage, and the shadow of a fierce tiger loomed behind Xu Mo.
